They discussed many subjects and ideas for scho- ol-participation projects. Some of their duties were as follows: to provide unity and co-o-peration of the pupils and faculty in all extra classroom activities of the school; to de- velop the spirit ideals, and pr- actice of good citizenship in the school; to promote the general welfare of Alcester High School, its name, its reputation, and its possibilities for the achievement of its purposes; and to prove a satisfactory means of carrying on relationships with the other sch- ools and businesses of the stud- ent organization. Student Council members were chosen from each class at the be- ginning of the year. These stu- dents were faced with the respon- sibility of representing their class when making decisions. 6 Council member Carla Buum accompanies at school activies.

Expanded Faculty Fosters New Ideas Guiding the stu- dents in their search for knowledge are the educators. They move among us, explaining, clarifing, and giving of what they know. Beyond the class- rooms and co-curricu- lar activities we find our school staff cop- ing with the many ev- eryday problems with which they are faced. Joining the faculty this year were Mr. Johnson, English; Mr. Bultsma, agriculture and shop; Mr. Swenson, instrumental; Mr. Mey- erink, vocal; and Mr. Person, principal, bookeeping and typing. Through their help with co-curricular ac- tivities, the teachers hope to establish bet- ter student-teacher understanding. They try to prepare stu- dents for the future. The faculty has the vital role of fulfill- ing the goal of a high school, providing ed- ucation.

The 1969-70 school board was given the responsibility of being the first elected board for the newly reorganized school dis- trict. Members of the school board spent long hours at the monthly meetings working out pro- blems facing our school. Along with the administration, the board is instrumental in the hiring of teachers, the organiz- ing of school curriculum, and the formulating of school policy. Three improvements discussed, approved, and acted upon by the board were the installation of a new intercom system, modern wind- ows and the replacement of the electrical wiring throughout the school. The board discussed the expan- sion and improvement of the lib- rary and the introduction of mo- dular scheduling as future im- provements . Through their efforts and ded- ication, the school board helps to make our school a better place for education.
